The call for resolutions is now open!
Resolutions are a great way for you to voice your opinion about which issues CNA should focus on. Submit a resolution on any nursing or health-care topic you feel passionate about, as long as it fits with CNA’s mission and goals.

We have extended our submission deadline, yet again, as we still have only received a handful of abstracts!! This will be the last and final extension. We really need everyone to come together, this is our conference, and if we want it to be great we need the membership to step up and submit abstracts!! Our conferences are always full of great presentations with an abundance of learning opportunities, and I know there are members out there with knowledge to share, so please submit!

In a first for Canada, the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) has partnered with Choosing Wisely Canada (CWC) to release a list of nine recommendations to minimize unnecessary care. The list identifies tests, treatments and procedures commonly used in nursing that are unsupported by evidence and could expose patients to harm. The aim is to encourage dialogue between patients and their health-care providers to help make smart and effective choices for high-quality care.
